In operation, an Airborne Laser would fly a figure-eight course about eight miles high behind friendly lines while sensors on the aircraft searched for the telltale signs of ballistic missiles rising above the horizon. Radar and lasers would track and pinpoint the missile. The laser weapon would fire through the glass eye of a ball turret in the plane's nose, striking the missile with more than a megawatt of energy and \"unzipping\" the missile's skin, [Charles W. Pinney] said. Its small presence at Wright-Pat doesn't make the Airborne Laser less important to ASC, Pinney said. Military planners are already looking at other types of beam weapons, from non-lethal \"dazzlers,\" which would stun but not permanently injure civilian mobs, to what Pinney described as fanciful \"photon fighters\" that would use lasers instead of guns or missiles to shoot down enemy planes.

William G. Pinney, 83, of South Rd., Somers, and widower of the late Helen Louise (Meacham) Pinney, passed away Saturday, (April 20, 2002) at Evergreen Healthcare Center. He was born August 18, 1918 in Meriden and lived in Manchester 38 years before moving to Somers in 1983. He was a veteran of World War II in the U.S. Merchant Marines.

Today, [Charles W. Pinney] is the colonel who runs the Air Force's F-117 Stealth fighter program office at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. But from 1983 to 1988, he was an F-117 test program manager. Responsible for the airplane's weapons and electronics, he was involved in the development of the Stealth fighter's custom-built smart bomb. Like thousands of current and former workers at Wright-Pat, Pinney played a critical role in the allied effort to reverse Iraq's 1990 takeover of Kuwait and prevent an expected invasion of Saudi Arabia. While some at Wright-Pat found themselves directly involved in supporting the war effort, most, like Pinney, had played their part years earlier. [Richard P. Hallion], who was the historian for the Aeronautical Systems Division (now center) at Wright-Pat in the 1980s, said Wright-Pat's labs were responsible for two key technologies, developed in the 1960s and 1970s, which played a more fundamental role: fly-by-wire control systems and advanced materials.

It was also Mr. [Gregor W. Pinney] who tracked down the $6.6 billion figure. He traced it to an erroneous 1983 report and found it repeated numerous times by magazines, newspapers and firms in the business of selling college aid information. In fact, Mr. Pinney reported, private scholarships provide less than $2 billion a year, and \"no significant scholarship money appears to go begging.\" Education Beat, creating a Maryland high school senior looking for a college major in journalism, tried one such service that is free to CCC students, the College Board's \"College Cost Explorer Fund Finder.\" The software, which includes cost and financial aid information on 3,000 U.S. colleges, came up with 29 scholarship sources for our mythical student, ranging from the Maryland State General Scholarship to the National Right to Work Committee William B. Ruggles Journalism Award. Among his warnings: \"Beware of any `scholarship' which requests an application fee. Most legitimate scholarship sponsors do not require an application fee. If you pay money to get information about an award, apply for the award or receive the award, it is probably a scam. No legitimate scholarship sponsor will guarantee that you will win the award.\"

Undoubtedly, IMTS 2006 will be \"a launch site for United Grinding Technologies and many other machine tool manufacturers to exhibit new metalworking machine technologies,\" says Rodger W. Pinney. But the UGT president and CEO cautions \"that technological advances alone will not achieve greater productivity and more profitability.

[Dane Smith] said he, not [Gerald Lacey], made the connection of Cargill as a big giver to the governor because it was important. He noted that after writing the commentary, the governor released records showing that the MacMillan family of Cargill gave another $7,000 to his campaign fund just before [Arne Carlson]'s veto. Smith said the facts in his story are undisputed, including evidence that Cargill's opposition, however indirect, was a significant factor in Carlson's veto of a bill that got only three \"no\" votes from 201 legislators. \"I believe the governor's discomfort is shared\" by all politicians, Smith said. \"It's a classic example of the compromised position that even the most honorable of them get in when they make decisions that directly affect people who give them large amounts of money.\" - In a June 12 article about a Twin Cities caravan that will take aid to Cuba, reporter Jean Hopfensperger wrote, \"Caravan organizers chose Minnesota as the launching site because it's the headquarters of Pastors for Peace, because of the growing public support to end the U.S. blockade against Cuba and because of the state's progressive tradition.\"
